What do colors mean?
For this assignment you will explore one dominant color of your choice to create a photograph depicting a particular emotion. You can shoot portraits, landscapes, still lifes…it’s your choice as long as you create an emotion showcasing your chosen color. Use gels or colored light bulbs to assist you in creating a mood and emotion in your imagery.
Then, I would like you to attempt to create the same emotion using the complimentary color! Attempt to shoot a similar scene and emotion, but see how it changes with the opposing color.
